Allentown Man Cited After Motorcycle Chase Police

An Allentown man was cited Saturday for fleeing from police, reckless driving, a traffic signal violation and driving a motorcycle without a license.

Angel Santos of 425 Hamilton St., Allentown, was apprehended after a patrolman drew his gun and ordered him out from behind a large pine tree at Canal Park following a chase, reports said.

Police said Santos, traveling west on Hanover Avenue, went through a red light at Irving Street and Hanover Avenue shortly after 8 p.m. The operator failed to pull over when followed by a police cruiser with its lights and sirens on and continued through several side streets onto E. Hamilton Street and south on S. Albert Street to Canal Park, police said.
